As historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat writes, authoritarians normalize cruelty to divide and conquer. “Freeing people from the idea that they should respect others as individuals with dignity and autonomy is part of the agenda.”

But of course!

Shit is being stirred up everywhere and I think these right wing assh*les have no idea how few people actually want what they're doing.

Love to see it!

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. He lied. 2 out of every 5 births in this country are covered by Medicaid.... Don't Cut My Medicaid

Thank you, Janet Mills. This is how all our elected officials everywhere should be confronting Trump's authoritarian "we are the law" sentiment. Head on.

I’m noticing a pattern. Women seem to be the only ones with the spine to stand up to the orange bully in congress. Maybe because we’ve had to put up w/so much over our lifetime (outwork, out-prepare, for less pay) and can outmaneuver a mansplaining bully from practice? #feminist #trumpisabully

looking for backbone? look to Maine. bravo!

This is how it’s done.

I’m shocked.

Fresh out of prison after Trump’s pardon, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested today for assaulting a woman protesting his event.

Houston police captain, Daryn Edwards, who was arrested for possessing videos of children being sexually abused & released on a 250k bond, has been arrested again for child rape charges & is being held without bond. www.khou.com/article/news...

If you haven’t seen this yet, please do. Because this morning something awesome happened that I’m going to say more about soon…. Hint: Georgia…. Town hall. It’s happening…. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province
